Yes, we could join via Webex and make a presentation on our
enhancements on OSEE. Thanks for including this in the
agenda.

Our scope is to
have a standard Automotive platform for an ALM solution, which is beyond an
IDE.

Our need is to cover the complete SDLC - starting from
Requirements, Design & Development, Build and all the way
to Testing.

We are giving equal importance to all the
phases.

In our concept, Artop/Sphinx ( in their current status)
fits into the Application-Development module of
OSEE.

Regarding support for OSEE : I believe if we go ahead with
this vision, the community will automatically pickup and we will see more
activities and
contributors.
There are already plans to make the platform web-enabled
& cloud-enabled.

The advantage here is that we have a ready working base in
OSEE with a good Workflow, SCM, REQM modules...... as compared to starting from
scratch.

We can now focus on strengthening the development phase or any
other phase that will specifically help Automotive embedded software
development.

Another question to address early is
support. In my experience, the support for OSEE questions is slow (see replies
on the forum). A platform for automotive needs to be based on well-supported
technologies.

Best Regards,

Andreas

Dear all,

This is an excellent proposal, a long felt need in the Automotive
industry. We welcomJe this idea !

At Bosch in India, we are working on a similar project using the OSEE
project ( (www.eclipse.org/osee) as a platform.

This is an advanced proposal because we have a strong workflow, an SCM,
REQM, project management and reporting modules already available,

ready to use from day One ! And this is more than
an IDE, it is a complete Application Life Cycle management tool.

With minimum or no configuration, one can start using this ALM tool right
away for simple automotive software projects.

In the last few months, we have been enhancing the OSEE platform in
co-ordination with the OSEE project leader from Boeing.

We are enhancing features like traceability, dependency analysis, version
management, checklist driven reviews?...etc.

We will be more than happy to provide an enhanced version of OSEE as a
starting base for this new "Eclipse IDE for Automotive Developers".

With contributions from the Auto IWG group and the general Eclipse
community, we could develop this into a full-fledged

standard platform for Automotive software developers.

There are plans to cloud-enable the OSEE platform. We are also working on
including a Model-based framework into the Application-Development

module of OSEE that can be used for domain-model driven ECU software
development.

With your suggestions and inputs, we could prioritise on the basic
features required to make this a standard platform for automotive software
development.
